Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Knowledge assessments, based on Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) scores, were conducted at baseline (immediately after the class), 4 weeks, and 8 weeks to evaluate both immediate learning and long-term retention. These assessments were validated by subject matter experts to ensure accuracy in measuring the intended knowledge. A standardized test for each topic was used consistently across both groups.Timepoint: At baseline, at 4 weeks, at 8 weeks

Secondary

Secondary Outcomes (Qualitative): Structured feedback forms were administered immediately after the classes to collect insights from students & teachers on the effectiveness of the teaching methods. Thematic analysis will be conducted by multiple researchers to identify themes related to engagement, satisfaction, & learning outcomes. Timepoint: At baseline
